Philco model 39-5505
#1

Hi Guys,

Has anyone ever seen or heard of a model # 39-5505?
I don't know what tubes are in it.

Thanks,
Eric

Nope. Could be the p# for the cabinet or a foreign model. Got a pic???

No such model. Most likely, a part number for the tube layout sticker - a common mistake, given the fact that Philco often printed the part number in large numbers on these tube layout stickers from about 1939 on.

OK, now we're getting somewhere. Icon_smile It could be any of the following:

38-38T (battery operated)
38-39T (operates from 6 volt battery)
38-40T (operates from AC or 6 volt battery)

So...don't keep us in suspense...which one of the four I listed did yours turn out to be?

It was just one I was looking at from a photo. One of the photos shows a power supply stuffged inside the cabinet so I think it is a 38-38T or 38-39T.

I'm going to pass on it.
Thanks for the help,
Eric

OK, I found it.

It's very cheap now at $13.99, but it will go up before the bidding ends.

And I think it's a 38-40T; that power supply sure looks like a 38-40 power supply. 38-40T models are not too hard to find and are neat little sets.

A side note: I see my Gallery has the wrong picture for a 38-22T which has the Cone-Centric mechanism like a 38-7T. I'll have to get that changed. I corrected my post above accordingly.

Last night when I was walking my dogs I looked up at the sky and the moon was BLUE.

Today we discover that the esteemed PhD (Doctor of Philcology) made a MISTAKE!

Is there a connection?

What does it all mean?

I'm sure now that everyone on the PHORUM knows about it the bidding will go up.

Thanks for the info,

Well, yeah; you did say you were going to pass on it. Icon_confused Besides, someone else here (not me) may want it.

A little while back someone on CL posted a Philco console for sale as a model 39-5505. Although they said they weren't sure that was the model.

You know that model 39-5505 is probably their most popular model!!! They made ALOT of them.
